Density Calculator

Density is mass divided by volume. It tells you how tightly matter is packed: a liter of water has a mass of one kilogram, giving a density of 1,000 kg per cubic meter.

The math behind it: Density Calculator

density = mass / volume

Anything less dense than water (1 g/mL) floats in it; anything denser sinks. Ice floats because it is about 8% less dense than liquid water.
